now americans are being treated to images of a republican governor extensively praising obama for working with him cooperatively and displaying leadership and propensity for quick action at a time of crisis. can't be good, maria, for the romney side anyway. >> it's not good at all. let's not forget, governor christie was the keynote at the national convention. and delineating, making a case for why we needed romney's leadership. because he's seen the suffering on the ground he's saying, this is beyond politics and partisanship. we need to know what is good for the american people and romney's camp is scrambling, shaking their head and trying to find out what to do next. they don't have anything. the fact that president obama has stepped up basically does believe that there's a role for government and christie validates that. the folks that we've been able to see, the national guard, firefighters, every day workers, individuals that are unionized and also folks that the romney campaign wants to tear down, had it not been for the federal government and state and local governments working to
